Past my due date and need some encouragement?

My due date was September 23, 2013 and at my last doctor visit on the 24th of Sept. my doctor was talking about inducing options. I REALLY don’t want to be induced but I’m just not sure I can keep my resolve when the time comes to make the decision. I’m not familiar with all the risk of late term babies and I want to avoid a c-section like the plague. How long should I wait? This is my third child. The first one came within 1 week late of his due date and the second came within 1 week early of his due date. What are your thoughts/experiences on this? Thanks!
